CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Montrose is an inward, brooding wine classic Montrose, in other words, just attenuated in its intensity by the cool growing season. Spice, tobacco, cedar, menthol, scorched earth, gravel and a touch of new oak open over time, but the 2021 is really a wine that requires considerable cellaring to reach its potential. Then again, it is Montrose. Elegance meets power here.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Not very pure or direct on the nose. Muted - is this a good thing? There is concentration here but nothing other-worldly. Just a bit of heat on the end. Seems to lack a bit of freshness in this context. But the tannins have been treated very well. (JR)
